3 RESTRAINTS DO NOT apply with boom spray equipment unless operators are protected by enclosed cabs. DO NOT use open mixing/loading systems for boom spray and aerial equipment. DO NOT apply by spray equipment carried on the back of the user. DIRECTIONS FOR USE CROP PEST RATE CRITICAL COMMENTS 2 Pasture Cereals, Canola and Pulse crops Blue Oat Mite (Qld, NSW only) Lucerne Flea 100 ml/ha AUTUMN/WINTER: Spray 2 5 weeks after opening rains when mites have hatched to prevent seedling damage or loss. Le-Mat is rain fast within 1 hour of spraying. Residual control is less on 1 2 true leaf plants. Le- Mat should be mixed with minimum tillage or direct drill sprays to kill existing mite populations. SPRING: Spray mite infested pastures to prevent damage, yield loss and to reduce infestation pressure in the following autumn. Le-Mat may be added to pasture herbicides. 100 ml/ha Spray on appearance and before damage occurs. If second hatching occurs a follow up spray may be required. Spotted Clover Aphid 100 ml/ha Apply at the first sign of aphid activity. Clover Mite (Bryobia Mite) (NSW, WA only) Blue Oat Mite (Qld, NSW only) 120 ml/ha Spray on appearance and before damage occurs. 100 ml/ha Spray 2 5 weeks after opening rains when mites have hatched to prevent seedling damage or loss. Le-Mat is rain fast within 1 hour of spraying. Residual control is less on 1 2 true leaf plants. Le-Mat should be mixed with minimum tillage or direct drill sprays to kill existing mite populations. Spraying mite infested pulses may prevent damage, yield loss and to reduce infestation pressure in the following season. Cereals: DO NOT apply after BBCH 29. Canola: DO NOT apply after BBCH 30. Pulses: DO NOT apply after BBCH 30.

4 Cereals, Canola and Pulse crops Lucerne Flea Clover mite (Bryobia Mite) (NSW, WA only) 100 ml/ha Spray on appearance and before damage occurs. If second hatching occurs a follow up spray may be required. 120 ml/ha Spray on appearance and before damage occurs. Faba bean Bluegreen Aphid 100 or 200 ml/ha Spray when aphids start to build up. Use the higher rate when faster knockdown is required. Cowpea Aphid 200 ml/ha Spray when aphids start to build up. Barrier spraying Poppy (NSW, WA only) (Tas only) 300 ml/ha To prevent invasion, spray bare earth outside crop as well as weeds along the fenceline using an offset jet.

Poppies: DO NOT apply after BBCH 30. NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION OTHER LIMITATIONS: DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IN THE HOME GARDEN WITHHOLDING PERIOD: HARVEST: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED Canola, cereals, pulses: DO NOT GRAZE FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION Pasture: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCKFEED FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Insecticide Resistance Warning GROUP 1B INSECTICIDE For insecticide resistance management, Le-Mat is a Group 1B insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Le-Mat and other Group 1B insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Le-Mat and other Group 1B insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Le-Mat on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Arysta LifeScience Corporation accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Le-Mat to control resistant insects. Le-Mat may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Arysta LifeScience representative or local agricultural department agronomist. 3

5 Mixing Mix the required quantity of Le-Mat in sufficient water to give even coverage. Boom sprayers and aircraft are satisfactory for spraying Le-Mat. Compatibility Compatible with most commonly used herbicides from direct drilling and minimum tillage to pasture topping. Ensure that Le-Mat is thoroughly mixed in the spray tank before adding a herbicide. DO NOT mix concentrates together but add each to the spray tank separately. As formulations of other manufacturers products are beyond the control of Arysta LifeScience Corporation, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. As changes in climatic conditions can alter the sensitivity of plants to mixtures of sprays, Arysta LifeScience cannot be responsible for the behaviour of such mixtures. RE-ENTRY PERIODS DO NOT allow entry into treated areas for two days. If prior entry is required, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day s use. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK Dangerous to bees. DO NOT spray any plants in flower while bees are foraging. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.
